The immune system is not a muscle--you don't need to keep exposing yourself to pathogens. Think how ridiculous that sounds--are you going to go get rabies, ebola, HIV, brain eating bacteria, etc. to be 'healthy'?
- mr_toad 4y agoThe whole point of a vaccine is to expose the immune system to an antigen.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoNo, you're exposing a harmless or safe part of an antigen to stimulate memory B and T cell immune response in the future. Rawdogging unfiltered air with true COVID or other bad virons will expose you to a potentially harmful virus--millions of people have been killed and many more disabled from it so far. You have no way of knowing if you will join their fate and are just rolling the dice.
